That worked.

Looks good to me. As much fun as I poke at the environmental movement, I'm all for recycling stuff.....Tires are a prime example of a mass material that is highly recycleable.

So now when they say "paper or plastic" you can justify asking for plastic. Tell them you need it for fuel!

Well....Seeing as for some unknown, inexplicable, and totally I'm sure 'unreasonable' reason, the cost of diesel has gone up again.......It never went down, and for some reason it just went up.....I'm sure some a-hole somewhere will take a drag on the big fat joint he's smoking and will say some BS about concerns over heating oil prices, or estimated shortage of diesel reserves and kerosene and a harsh winter, or Bin Laden farted, or some such crap.......
